Pope's Address to Congress

Here is Pope Francis I's address to a joint session of Congress. It is not a transcript, but a pre-circulated copy. So, there might be some discrepancy with what was actually said. He structured the speech around four Americans: Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., Dorothy Day, and Thomas Merton. Take a look.
